OPS/571 Week 6 Quiz(15/15 right)1) A bottleneck in a manufacturing
process may be targeted and eliminated by employing which of the following?

Increase the capacity of a nonbottleneck
resource.Install more efficient equipment
where capacity is less than the demand.Increase labor equally throughout
the system.Increase the idle time of a
capacity-constrained resource in the system.

2)The
Shingo approach to quality control depends on which of the following?

Extensive use of control chartsUse of source inspection on 100% of the
items producedUse of statistically based approaches to
quality controlUse of a sophisticated method of
acceptance sampling
3) According to the theory of constraints which of the following can
be a CCR?

An
employee
Product designFactory layout

A customer
4) According to the theory of constraints, which of the following is
an OPERATIONAL measurement that can be used to measure the firm’s ability to
make money?
InventoryUnit costOperating revenue

Net
Profit
5) Which of the following is a focusing step of Dr. Eli Goldratt’s
theory of constraints?
Isolate constraints to reduce the
constraints capacity.Do not modify a process after
improvement of a constraint is achieved.Identify system constraints that
prevent the system from achieving its goal.

Align the whole system to support processes prior to the
constraint.
6) Identifying critical-to-quality characteristics (CTQs) takes
place in which step of the DMAIC methodology?
AnalyzeDefineMeasureImprove
7) According to the theory of constraints, which of the following
would be included in the Throughput operational measurement?
Goods soldRaw materialsWork in processFinished goods

8) The Shingo system of quality control relies heavily on fail-safe
procedures or devices called what?
CTQsPoka-yokesDPMOs

Checklists
9) Goldratts theory of constraints (TOC) could be restated using
which of the following?

Continuous adjustments after a constraint problem is solved will
cause more problems
A system constraint cannot be
identified and thus cannot be improved

Any system is limited in achieving more of its goals by a very
small number of constraints

A system with constraints will not be able to achieve its goals
10) Which of the following are examples of Goldratts Rules of
Production Scheduling?

Nonbottlenecks
govern throughput
Utilization and activation are the sameAn hour saved at a bottleneck is
a mirage

Balance
flow, not capacity

including six-sigma, does not prevent defects, is central to what alternative
quality system?
Shingo SystemSQC methodsDeming PDCA cycleDMAIC cycle
